How to Save Money at Maplewood Animal Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

This is the best vet I could ever recommend! Dr. Rogers’ will treat your pet like his own and will treat them to the best of his abilities. He takes the time to sit with each patient and explain everything so well. Even when he is not in the office he will return your call as soon as he can. I called him on a Sunday and he the answered the first ring and took his time on the phone! He took care of my sweet Poochie, a shih-a-poo for 13 years and treated her like his own every step of the way. His prices are very reasonable. I will forever recommend him!

I truly hope this man is more pleasant to animals than he is to humans. He is rude aggressive and dismissive and I hope never to have to meet him again. I misunderstood a sign in his lot and thought it said I could park after 2pm on Saturday. I was parked for no more than 2 minutes, ran in into DD and grabbed a donut for my son. He was stood there and photographed me and informed me I would get a $55 fine/ . When I asked him why he was being so aggressive he told me to go away and slammed the door. I truly hope he is kinder to pets.

Visited Maplewood Animal Hospital in Maplewood Nj for the first time today. Dr. Roger’s was excellent. I had gotten in my cats way as he was attempting a jump and forced him to land improperly. He became standoffish for a few days. I heard of Maplewood Animal Hospital so I thought I’d better take him there for a look over. Dr. Roger’s was excellent. My cat was at ease. He let Dr. Rogers examine him with no problems and he usually doesn’t take to strangers to easy. Dr. Rogers was kind and showed love to my cat. When I left there he was good and upon arriving home he’s been upbeat, running around the house and everything. Not in a corner hiding or anything. I’d recommend Maplewood Animal Hospital any day, and will definitely be going back . Thanks Dr. Roger’s James Smoot

Dr. Rogers is an amazing vet. You can tell that he is truly dedicated to animals and their care. Highly recommend his practice, he explains everything very thoroughly and leaves plenty of time for questions.

I was referred here by my aunt and I’m so glad that I was. You really don’t find vets like Dr. Rogers these days. He was genuinely concerned about my dog immediately and made sure that he was taken care of at the hospital that he referred us to for further testing. I will be switching my pet from his previous vet and making Dr. Rogers our primary.
